Ciggies suspect in fire Devon MacKenzie News staff
The keen eye of a passerby caught a hedge fire that broke out around 9 p.m. on Monday at 6805 Veyaness Rd. before it raged out of control. Central Saanich fire crews were on the scene just after the call came in and were able to get the fire under control within two hours. “The cedar hedge was fully engulfed and the fire was burning so hot and it’s so dry that ash and sparks from the main fire caused another area covered in cedar mulch to smoulder,” said Ron French, Central Saanich’s fire chief.

With a roar, the twin turbo jet engines on Jack Price’s A10 Warthog rev up and propel the replica military airplane onto the short grass field where modelers regularly gather to take to the skies. Fuelled by kerosene, the engines look — and sound — like the real thing. Price and fellow Victoria Radio Control Modelers Society (VRCMS) members Al Tamosiunas, Jack Lowe and Mike Scholefield are getting their scale-model aircraft
ready for the club’s 12th annual airshow, dubbed Victoria’s Largest Little Airshow. It takes place August 10 and 11 at the grass field along Lochside Drive near Michell’s Farm in Central Saanich. It’s a popular event, says Scholefield, who has been co-ordinating the airshow since it began. “It used to be a scale contest,” he explained. “The aircraft would fly and were judged for their realism and how their owners could fly them.” That was in 2001 and people came out to see the models take to the air.
The following year, however, the event really grew after a bit of advertising. “People just came,” he said. “In 2002, poof! It really did take off.” The show has always been a fundraiser and in 2001 it raised $300. Since then, the club saw the airshow popularity rise — as did the coffers. Over the last 11 years, Scholefield said the club has raised more than $160,000 for C-FAX’s Santas Anonymous and the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation.

“A lot of the workers around there go outside to smoke and put their butts out in that area. We saw tons of them around there. People need to be more careful,” he said, adding that especially in the summer when it’s so dry, smokers should always use a proper ashtray or container to dispose of their butts. Fire crews were also kept busy over the weekend when they worked to save a 42-foot wooden boat that had caught fire after the owner had a problem with the electrical system he was working on Sunday morning at Anglers Anchorage Marina in Brentwood Bay. “The alternator shorted out and melted the negative connection to the battery which melted all the plastic off the wiring and actually created a fire under the console,” explained French. “We moved the boat off the far finger dock at Anglers to the government dock and were able to get it under control before it did too much damage.” The boat was being prepared for sale and did not have insurance. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Peninsula News in brief Campfire ban in place
SIDNEY — Continued hot, dry weather means campfire prohibitions are in place for many campers this B.C. Day long weekend. With the fire danger rating increased throughout much of the province, the public is reminded to check local fire prohibitions and remain vigilant in preventing wildfires. Effective at 12 noon on Thursday, Aug. 1, 2013, all open fires, including campfires are banned in all areas of the Coastal Fire Centre (including Vancouver Island), except for the Fog Zone and Haida Gwaii. To report an unattended campfire, call 1-800-663-5555 or call *5555 on your cellphone. — B.C. Government
Be safe this long weekend
SIDNEY — RCMP are reminding drivers to be safe on the roads this B.C. Day long weekend. Police will be out in force in an attempt to reduce the number of crashes this weekend.

More history, more fun at the museum Expansion of the Sidney Museum and Archives gives more room for new exhibits Steven Heywood News staff
A new display at the Sidney Museum and Archives on Beacon Avenue is getting a lot of looks — and a lot of positive comments despite its unusual position. Thanks to a major expansion program at the museum, the society had the room to bring in an outhouse. Patrons, says society board chair Peter Wainwright, certainly think the display does not stink at all. In fact, he said it seems to be the most popular exhibit these days. Being able to fit the outhouse into the museum (it’s part of an exhibit of the area’s pioneering days) is one of the benefits of the recent takeover of the former Military Book Shop, which has since moved to another building on Fourth Street. The added space is giving the museum the change to add new artifacts and displays that showcase the Saanich Peninsula’s early to modern history. Visitors to the museum enter the upgraded space via Beacon Avenue and through what was once the book store entrance. Wainwright said it’s a bigger space, allowing more room for the reception area. A large poster outlining the society’s expansion plans and fundraising effort greets people as they come in. From there, the museum is in the process of adding new artifacts and displays about the area’s First Nations — first stop on a museum tour. Wainwright said they have plans to really make a splash in this space — noting the society will only proceed as their fundraising effort allows. That said, they have already added more to the museum and that is getting good reviews from visitors. Local railway history will get a boost with a new model display under construction. Volunteer model railroaders are busy creating a scene of historical railways on the Peninsula. Wainwright added there will growth on other areas, too, such as the region’s agricultural and industrial industries, maritime activity and modern history (the 1960s to the 2000s). “We are hoping to have a representation of that (modern) era,” Wainwright explained. “There is currently no place where we are telling that story.” The additional space also means there is more room for their tempo-

This year, Wainwright adds, the museum is working with the Sidney Volunteer Fire Department, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2014. Next year, people can expect
to see historical equipment (watch for classic fire trucks downtown) and the story of the local fire department and its contributions to the community over the decades. The museum expansion and volunteers’ efforts are giving the society a bigger presence in Sidney. Wainwright said they are working on tak-

ing the facility into the modern era as well, during their long-term plans. New security systems are going in soon and there are plans to have the museum a wireless hotspot, allowing visitors to use QR codes on displays to learn more about local history. A smart phone app is also in the works, Wainwright said. The hope is that app would provide history and links to existing attractions, businesses and sites that people can visit. “This will allow us to link what we offer with what other people provide on the Peninsula.” Fundraising for all of these extras and expansion of the museum is still ongoing. Wainwright said they’ve had some great donations from individuals and organizations like Tanners Books and the Saanich Peninsula Foundation, adding their goal is to reach $100,000 by the end of the year. “We are going to become more visible now,” he said. “There are just so many possibilities.” To learn more, visit www.sidneymuseum.ca. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Fires are banned for good reason
T
he Island sure has been warm and dry these last few weeks. It’s hard not to notice that. In fact, the region has set records for longest period with continuous sunshine and longest period on record without a drop of rain. So it should be a no-brainer that the woods are dry right now and we should all take extra care with the things we use that can cause a fire. That goes for barbecue lighters, campfires, matches (of course), magnifying glasses (for all of those sleuths Be sure to check out there) and, of course, cigarettes. with your own Today’s front municipality page shows how a carelessly discarded cigarette butt might have been responsible for a large structure fire. The owners of the building, neighbours and firefighters were lucky that blaze didn’t turn out worse. Thanks to quick-thinking passers-by, it was caught before it did any real damage. The incident is a reminder of two things: one, that smokers really should treat their environment better and dispose of their butts properly, and; two, its dry out there. No one should really be considering an outdoor fire unless it’s a matter of survival. We might say that using fire to cook if necessary might be acceptable, but it has been so hot you might be able to cook using the pavement. OK, maybe not so much, but you catch the drift. The Coastal Fire Centre has banned campfires throughout all public land in the region. Be sure to check with your individual municipality for their rules and regulations, but most will generally follow the overall ban. It is being done for a good reason. Comfort, marshmallows and weenies are not good enough reasons to light a fire right now. It’s just a little common sense when the temperatures are high and there’s little to no rain ahead.

hanks to the PNR for the editorial regarding the issue of whether to build new ferries in B.C. or to export the jobs. As deputy ferries critic in question period last week, I pointed out that this isn’t just about the three new vessels that B.C. Ferries needs within a few years, but even more importantly, the total of 15 new ferries to be built over the next 20 years. Ferry designs are being standardized to create cost economies and to give ferries the flexibility to work on a number of different routes. So whichever shipyard wins the contract has the inside track for the rest of B.C. Ferries’ replacement program, amounting to over $2 billion in direct spending. All of this spending could be lost to our shipyards and economy. And so will the jobs (many of which could be right here in the Victoria area) and provincial tax revenues generated directly

While a fiscally conservative federal government has decided it is good public policy to build naval vessels in Canada, our provincial (“jobs ‘r us”) government sticks its head in the sand — not even curious about the potential economic benefits of adopting a similar strategy in B.C. The funny thing is, Premier Clark apparently thinks it is great news that the federal government has decided some of its shipbuilding should be done in B.C. and in fact, stated before the May election that we should not only build our own ferries here in B.C. but build them for other countries too. So aside from the fact that the election is over, why isn’t the Premier acting on this? Gary Holman MLA, Saanich North and the Islands Deputy Critic BC Ferries
Readers respond: NDP response on climate change; concession letter clarification Hold government to account on climate issues Re: NDP soul search going nowhere (B.C. Views, July 31). Climate change is a reality, and bold political leadership is needed to address it. During the election campaign, New Democrats put forward a plan to expand the base of the carbon tax to include venting emissions from oil and gas operations, capturing an additional five per cent of carbon emissions in the province, but that plan didn’t include all industrial process emissions. We believe that government should work with the oil and gas sector to make sure companies pay their fair share for the emissions they produce. This is particularly important as the B.C. Liberal government pursues an aggressive schedule of LNG expansion which, if realized, will make it nearly impossible for the government to reach our legal emission reduction requirements. New Democrats will hold the
government to account for their green promises, and continue to advocate for policies that help reduce emissions and spur efficiency, innovation and best practices. Spencer Chandra Herbert, New Democrat environment critic and MLA for VancouverWest End

Peninsula Soccer letter clarification Editor’s Note: The Peninsula Soccer Association wanted to clarify information in its original letter (PNR, July 31) regarding their concession contract with the Town of Sidney. In a revised letter, they state: “As much as it would have been a nice addition for the Association to handle the operation of this facility – the yearly costs, both fixed and variable, required to run this service far outweighed any potential revenue that may have been generated. Financially it did not make sense.”

Model airshow raising money for two good causes Continued from page 1
Sponsored by Parker Johnston Industries Ltd., Viking Air, Proline Property managers and more, the event is bringing in model aircraft owners from Greater Victoria, the mainland and from as far afield as Salt Lake City, Utah and Sacramento and San Jose, California. They will bring replicas of biplanes and Second World War-era fighter-bombers as well as helicopters, jets and all manner of remote-control contraptions. Scholefield said everyone is welcome to attend the two-day event, but will have to bring their own lawn chairs, hats and sunscreen. He noted the observation area fills up fast for this popular show. People can expect to see static displays under three tents on site, where owners will be talking about their models — how much time it takes and the nuts and bolts of being a model aircraft operator. There will be 50/50 draws, raffles, a full concession — and admission to the airshow is by donation. Scholefield is hoping plenty of people come out and help with the fundraising effort for Santas Anonymous and the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation. The group of VRCMS members (the club has 55 active members) have been tuning up their aircraft for the event. Tamosiunas had one of his choppers flying, Lowe brought out his hand-built Corsair and Scholefield worked out some of the bugs with his F-16’s landing gear.

North Saanich launches online commenting Pilot program allows residents to share ideas, comments Steven Heywood News staff
Residents of North Saanich with great ideas for their municipal council now have an additional way to let the District know. This week, the District of North Saanich launched an online public ideas forum, the first B.C. municipality to use this specific platform. People can find it at www.dnsideasforum. ca. It’s a pilot project for the municipality, says Mayor Alice Finall, and a way for the people to post ideas, vote and comment on them and respond to decisions of council. It’s a way for people who might not be able to get to a council meeting, or who might feel uncomfortable with being in a public forum in person, to address council. “It gives (people) a quick and informal means of expressing ideas to council,” Finall explained, adding it’s another way residents can respond to council decisions and the business of the municipality. “It has launched and now we are interested to see how it takes.” The Ideas Forum website allows people to sign up or simply add their ideas and comments. Others will be able to add their thoughts on the issues raised. The site will be monitored by staff, said Finall, who will be keeping tabs on the posts to ensure they meet the posted policy on online behaviour. Finall said staff will prepare reports on the ideas and comments from the site. From
Alice Finall there, she said council
will be able to respond to specific concerns or comments. She admitted that the District is feeling its way ahead with this program and could be making changes along the way to ensure the pilot works well for the community. “This is a new initiative to enhance our community dia-
logue goals,” said Rob Buchan, Chief Administrative Officer in a media release. “We are fortunate to have been given this service from our Webcast provider, Granicus, free of charge in recognition of the pioneering work North Saanich has already undertaken in webcasting on Vancouver Island.”

A large group, including Panorama summer campers, staff, administration (and of course, Slider the Penguin) gathered Wednesday afternoon for the launch of the new $59 annual youth pass. The pass is now available for purchase online or at Panorama Rec Centre.
Panorama’s new pass an early hit Affordable youth rec pass designed to help fight obesity Devon MacKenzie News staff
There’s more on line - vicnews.com
Panorama’s new affordable youth pass launched Wednesday and is already seeing sales success. “We have already sold some of the new passes online and we’ve had people come in [to the rec centre] to buy them too,” said Ian Hennigar, senior manager of Panorama. The new pass offers youth under 19 years of age an annual pass for $59, explained Hennigar,
highlighting the fact that if a parent or guardian buys an annual pass for themselves, complimentary annual passes will be offered to all dependent children, aged six to 18. “It’s great to be able to offer this to the community and to families who may not otherwise be able to afford to attend the rec centre as much as they might want to,” he said. According to Hennigar, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30
years. The pass was a way the Peninsula Recreation Commission felt they could help beat the rising obesity statistics in children and youth while promoting play and recreation. Panorama had already also offered free access to their facilities for preschool children, age five and under. To find out more about the new youth pass program, visit www.panoramarecreation.ca. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com — With files from Steven Heywood

Central Saanich Police are asking for the public’s help in a case from last month where a 17-year-old was knocked off his bicycle. The teen was riding down the correct side of Stelly’s X Road just before 5 a.m. on Saturday, July 13 when he
was struck by a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction. “The investigation is still open and we’re looking for anyone who may have witnessed or has any information about the incident,” said Corporal Pat Bryant. Anyone who has information can call 250-652-4441 and reference file number 2013-2228.
